- This video is about van conversion. I explain how I did my solar shower system, including specific features to be used with a van, a minivan or a car. It includes interesting safety features that I consider a necessity.
This video is related to a previous video about hygiene. I invite you to watch it:

Hello from the Chicago suburbs! Not only do you explain HOW to do something, but you talk in detail about WHY the solution works best. I really appreciate that. You're a great teacher. Thank you!
I love your solutions: simple, cheap, comfortable. And most important, you have tried a lot of solution before suggest something
Showers make a huge difference to me. Having a gym membership is better than nothing but still not ideal! The only problem with your system is maintaining your stealthiness. I am 90% urban camper 💜
Eric, you are my VanLife real life HERO! Thanks for sharing your experience, expertise, & vanlife ENERGY! 🦸🏻♂️👍🏼 If you are ever in San Diego, CA, I'd love to meet you in person! I can host you in my house, and prepare a good home cooked meal to pay you back for all your contributions to the vanlife community. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Jon
Hello from Slovakia, this video about torpedo shower is inspiration for me, I started thinkng about small van for weekend trips and this solution of shower I like. I wish you good luck on roads.
Hi from Italy. I just discovered your channel and I find it one of the best. Easy and practical explanations. Very easy to understand your English even for me I’m a beginner Ciao Eric!
The water tube baffles are a great idea! Such a simple and effective solution.
Watching in Tampere, Finland! 🇫🇮
There’s another way of doing it. Don’t fill it until you need it.
Hello from central Europe, Slovakia
I already found a ton of information about solar roof showers, but yours gave me new ideas. I thought of the challenge of how to stop the water from moving over the whole length when braking suddenly. I like your idea.

Another deeply practical solution, well thought out, and using actual science. The thing that stands out about your minivan camping is not just experience, but a solid education underlying your choices. Thanks from the Mid-Atlantic.
Eric, you put so much thought into everything you do on your van. Your explanations and photos of each project are detailed but simple to follow and understand. I look forward to your videos. Thanks.
Quebec, Canada. I am not yet at a build stage, but will keep all your instructions for possible future use! Thank you so much for taking time to share your solutions!
Eric: the Zen Master of Vanlife! Love all your videos. Started watching you when I lived in Kyoto, Japan, now in Huntsville Alabama.
Between Eric and Bruce Parks, I've learned so much to help me with my Sienna build out. Thanks!
Eric, I just watched your video from Western North Carolina. Anticipation and then excitement when I see you have posted.
From Minot, ND - USA. I would not have considered so many points, such as ensuring the water cabinet does not thrust forward like a torpedo. Thank you for mentioning all the things you think through. It helps me to look at challenges in new ways. Very neat shower!
Thank you Eric. I enjoy your videos so very much. You clearly put a lot of thought into each build and video. I particularly like your idea of putting a screw cap on each end of the tank. I hadn’t thought about the fact that customs would want to check inside the tube. I also loved the water sloshing animation. Watching from California 🚙
